[听力文本资源]About half of the young people in the United States expect to be more financially successful than their parents, according to a new poll by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and the media company MTV. Researchers questioned 580 Americans from ages 15 to 26, as well as 591 parents of children in the same age group. The poll found that around half of the young people think they will have stronger household finances than their parents. About 29 percent expect to do as well as their parents. Twenty percent expect to do worse. Parents were a little more hopeful: 60 percent think their children will do better than they did. The 60 percent included parents of all earning levels. Twelve percent of parents said that they felt their children might do worse. It is no longer a guarantee that children will become richer and move into a higher social class. Economist Raj Chetty and others released a study confirming this idea. They found that about half of the Americans born in 1984 earned more at age 30 than their parents, down from 92 percent in 1940.[听力文本资源]1. [听力文本资源] How many people were questioned by the researchers?
